I’m only here to say that I’m loving what you’re doing.
It’s a nice distro and I like swupd a lot. It’s definitely harder to forge “foreign” packages but it’s way more clean than other methods.

I do recognize that there are some things to polish here and there but I was wondering if there’s any policy related to OEMs. I mean, suppose I decide to integrate your software in some (Intel based) hardware products, who do I talk with ?
I’m hypothesizing to release a few bundles and wait for approval by the community first, and to integrate a clean iso + approved addons later on. All of this on machines I’m expecting to sell, advertising “how cool this is”.
Can I freely do that or is this going to become a binding contract somewhere in the process?

Thanks for the input.
Though I’m asking because the default wallpaper states that “Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others”.
HP Device Manager is an example.
If there could be a list of everything that’s “other names and brands” I could avoid searching and checking over some hundred thousands files.

Sorry, I didn’t see this thread until just now. I think the answer will be complicated, but I can certainly work with you to understand what you’re proposing and get a definitive word from the engineering team.

Thanks Chris. I understand your concerns, they’re the same I’m facing.
I’m trying to assemble an UMPC which uses a peculiar 4G LTE device to communicate. It needs a few add-ons and I’m developing a specific software around it. I can easily resell the hardware without any OS whatsoever but it would certainly be less appealing to the general public. I’m willing to make the process transparent and to share more info with the team should the need ever arise but ,basically, that’s what I’m up to.
